Abstract

During JADPRO Live Virtual 2020, Sandra Kurtin, PhD, ANP-C, AOCN®, described personalization of the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) using molecular attributes of the disease, as well as patient characteristics. Dr. Kurtin discussed front-line treatment in previously untreated patients, treatment for relapsed or refractory CLL, and how to prevent, mitigate, and manage adverse events in order to optimize treatment.
